Chapter 617: Sluggish state

readx;

After two games, the Cavaliers have a 2-0 lead over the Green Army, and the whole world is singing praises for the Cavaliers, of course, there are some Green Army diehards who will say that it is just the first two games, and the number of times in the history of the NBA that they have won two games and then been turned over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But this is just the idea of the hardcore of the Green Army, how can the Cavaliers be so easily turned over by the other party?

In order to take care of the veterans, the league only started the third game of the two teams at the home of the Celtics four days later.

The Celtics also hope to make the Cavaliers suffer a little bit by using their backing on the Garden Court, and the atmosphere at the Devils' home court.

After the game began, the whole audience booed, and cheered, and the eardrums of the Cavaliers were painful.

In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' shooting rate was really affected by the Devil's home court, and at the beginning of the game, they were beaten by the Green Army with an 8-0 offensive **.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Kong knew that it was time for him to stand up, the Cavaliers did not score five goals before the opening, the sixth goal, Zhang Kong was ready to come in person, after passing the half with the ball, Zhang Kong looked at Rondo in front of him who was defending himself, of course, just one Rondo is not enough to make Zhang Kong guarded, if you see Pierce and Ray Allen next to you look like they are coming over to make up for the defense at any time, you know how much pressure Zhang Kong is under now, but Zhang Kong is under great pressure, that means he breaks through.

If he doesn't break through, he's going to face only one player, and that person is Rajon Rondo.

Zhang Kong has obvious advantages over Rondo, whether it is in terms of bounce, physical fitness, as well as height and arm span.

So he also chose to pull out three points at this time, in fact, it is more certain to score an inside goal at this time.

It's a pity that Zhang Kong is not the kind of person who sticks to the rules, so after he dribbled past half court, he shot in front of Rondo.

The basketball flew forward to the basket under the action of Zhang Kong's fingers, and although the boos of the audience almost knocked the roof of the North Shore Garden Arena over, they could not change the course of the ball, and the three-point shot was very accurate.

The Cavaliers finally made peace, but it was just Zhang Kong's words, the Cavaliers' next offensive shooting rate still did not come up, and Zhang Kong once again became the main attack point of the Cavaliers, in fact, Zhang Kong's scores were not very high recently, in the first game with the Green Army, Zhang Kong got a total of 22 points, 13 assists, 9 blocks, 4 rebounds and 4 steals, and in the second game, he got a total of 23 points, 11 assists, 7 blocks, 8 rebounds and 3 steals, Although such a score seems very unnatural to others, it is really enough for Zhang Kong, a triple-double at every turn, or a guy who is 30+10, and today, at least in the first quarter, more than 50% of the Cavaliers' offense is handled by Zhang Kong.

And his strong offensive ability was also officially shown, in the first quarter of the game, the Green Army and the Cavaliers fought 27-23, don't get me wrong, the Cavaliers are the one behind them, it should have been 24-23, with 6 seconds left in the game, Zhang Kong hit a two-point shot on the outside of the Green Army, originally Zhang Kong was aiming for three points, but unfortunately, he stepped on the line, so it became a two-point shot, 23-24 behind by one point, and at this time, the guy Ray Allen appeared, With six seconds left in the game, he had only 1.2 seconds left to make his shot, and that was enough for Ray Allen, who hit a very accurate three-pointer to give the Green Army a four-point deficit to lead the Cavaliers in the first quarter.

Of the Cavaliers' 23 points, Zhang Kong scored 13 points alone, and the remaining ten points were scored by others.

In the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' hand eased slightly, but the main point of attack was still open, Byron Scott saw this situation, so it was better to let go of Zhangkong and let him attack, and the other players all went off the court and replaced with four defensive players.

These four guys are here to give Zhang Kong a top thunder, center Milicic, power forward JJ Hickson, small forward Gerard Wallace, scoring guard Anthony Parker, point guard Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong this time does not need to defend at all, just attack.

It's also an opportunity for the Green Army, but Rondo is really not going to take advantage of it.

His shooting level is too poor, and after breaking in, there are naturally people to help defend and make up for the defense, he is more threatening than his passing, not his offense, in the second quarter of the game, the Cavaliers quickly overtook the score, the first quarter of the Green Army won the Cavaliers by 4 points, and in the second quarter the Cavaliers won the Green Army 8 points, with a score of 25-17, the Cavaliers and the Green Army ended the first half of the battle.

48-44, the Cavaliers only led the opponent by four points for the first time into the second half, and of the 48 points scored by the Cavaliers, 27 points came from Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong scored 13 points in the first quarter, and Zhang Kong scored 14 points in the second quarter.

Zhang Kong, who scored 27 points in the second quarter, scored more than the score in the first two games, and Zhang Kong's actions also showed the world that he was not unable to score, but just unwilling to score, and in the third quarter, the Cavaliers' offense was dumb again.

Today, the Cavaliers' hand feeling has indeed been greatly affected, it stands to reason that Maddy, Carter and others are also old demons in the league, and it should be unlikely to be affected by the fans, but their shooting rate today is indeed very miserable.

Maddy, who usually has a shooting rate of about 40%, has shot 8 goals today, but only scored one, and Carter is even worse, shooting 0 of 9 in the bench time, only relying on free throws to get three points, and there is one ball in the free throws that did not score, Jamison's shooting rate today is not high, 2 of 10 shots, but Milicic on the inside played well, Gerrard shot 1 of 5.

With such a hit rate, if there was no Zhang Kong, maybe the Cavaliers would have been finished, seeing that they really affected the generals of the Cavaliers, in the second half, the fans of the Green Army shouted harder, under the cheers of the fans, in the third quarter of the game, or Zhang Kong alone and the confrontation of the whole team of the Green Army, the Green Army scored 28 points in this quarter, and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

And Zhang Kong scored 13 points in this quarter, and the Cavaliers scored a total of 20 points, and by this time, Zhang Kong's score had reached 40 points, and there was one quarter left in the game, and the Cavaliers were four points behind the Green Army away, which was something that all the Cavaliers players did not want to see, even Byron Scott, who was very mild, had a rare fire today.

During the break in the third and fourth quarters, his shouting and scolding were heard by even the cameras in the distance.

The break between the third and fourth quarters was always very short, and soon the deciding set of the third game began, probably because he was scolded miserably just now, so at the beginning of the game, the shooting rate on the Cavaliers' side had some sense of recovery.

First, Maddie hit his first three-pointer of the game, and then Jamison hit a three-pointer, chasing back the four points that were originally behind, but the Green Army also scored two points with Pierce's shot, and the two sides were tied at 74 in the first minute of the fourth quarter, but then, the outside of the Cavaliers was dumb again, and when I saw that the outside line was dumb, Byron Scott was not polite, and directly sent Carter, since the outside line can't be shot, then hit the inside.

The Green Army is actually reluctant to defend the joint defense, because Doug Rivers believes that the joint defense is not a man's defense, and the men's defense should be one-on-one, but the situation does not allow it now, and if they lose this game again, then there is really no chance.

Since the outside line on the Cavaliers' side is not accurate, then let them shoot, this is also Doug Rivers' idea, his idea is very correct, the outside line on the Cavaliers' side really doesn't, and when they break through, there will be at least two players to wrap up.

In this case, the players of the Cavaliers were dumb again, Byron Scott saw that this was not good, as a last resort, he had to send Zhang Kong, who had just been off the court for a few minutes, to the court again, Zhang Kong is a data stream, he has no state, but his physical strength is also limited, after Zhang Kong came on the court, he directly hit two points with a bang, and stabilized the score, but Ray Allen and Pierce over there also slammed back two three-pointers, and the score is still slowly expanding......

With 2 minutes and 19 seconds left in the game, the Green Army had already taken an 11-point lead, and with Zhang Kong's shot, there were 9 points left, but at this time Zhang Kong had scored 52 points, 46 minutes, he accounted for 44 of them, only the first two minutes of the fourth quarter he went down to rest, and the rest of the time Zhang Kong has not rested.

But except for Zhang Kong, the others had no way to score at all, and all the people's hands dropped below freezing......

Byron Scott was really decisive at this time, and he directly replaced Zhang Kong, who was already a little out of strength, and we admitted this game! If you lose, you lose, we admit it, and in the face of Byron Scott's admission of defeat, Doug Rivers also breathed a sigh of relief.

Prior to this game, he had always thought that the Green Army could be swept away, but now it looks like he may not be without a chance.

When the game ended, the Green Army won the third game 97-90, the Cavaliers players except for Zhang Kong, the full-court shooting rate of 23.6%, such a shooting rate is already outrageous, and Zhang Kong's 55% shooting rate in the whole game, also let everyone see Zhang Kong's strength, the whole game of 48 minutes, Zhang Kong played 44 minutes, and scored 52 points, plus 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 steals, although the game was lost, But no one blamed Zhang Kong for the matter, Zhang Kong had done his best, but the result was indeed unsatisfactory.
